Amharc ar fhreagraUnder the Local Authority Swimming Pool Programme there are four principal stages in a swimming pool project which are: Feasibility Study/Preliminary Report; Contract Documents; Tender and Construction. My Department approved the Preliminary Report for the Ballybofey / Stranorlar Swimming Pool Project in May 2007, allowing Donegal County Council to move on to the next stage which is the preparation of Contract Documents. I understand from Donegal County Council that the Contract Documents will be submitted to my Department for approval in October 2008.
